Hemodynamic effects of stent-graft introducer sheath during thoracic endovascular aortic repair [PDF]
Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology (2022), 2021 Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has become the standard treatment of a variety of aortic pathologies. The objective of this study is to evaluate the hemodynamic effects of stent-graft introducer sheath during TEVAR. Three idealized representative diseased aortas of aortic aneurysm, coarctation of the aorta, and aortic dissection were ...

Mathematical modeling of shear-activated targeted nanoparticle drug delivery for the treatment of aortic diseases [PDF]
Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology (2021), 2021 The human aorta is a high-risk area for vascular diseases, which are commonly restored by thoracic endovascular aortic repair. In this paper, we report a promising shear-activated targeted nanoparticle drug delivery strategy to assist in the treatment of coarctation of the aorta and aortic aneurysm.
